Throught his painting , Hugues Gillet has endeavoured to give a material, objectivited and externalized form to his personal world. Half-animal, half-vegetable representations dwell in luxuriant landscapes or on smooth horizons in hues of scorched earth, like nightmares revealed on canvas.
Then, he couples impassive, hieratic human forms with vegetable and mineral kingdoms to give form to terrible visions, to revisit ancient myths and legends or to bear witness to the contemporary world and current events.
No matter how disturbing these hybridizations may appear they are familiar, as they stem from a long tradition of representing the surreal and the supernatural. From painting to painting they reveal the various stages of the artist's metaphysical quest and his distinctive poetry.
In a classic and figurative vein , Hugues Gillet, constant and perfectionist, offers whoever may wish to see, one of the "Possible Worlds" Paul Klee spoke of.

PLEASE NOTE:
We are currently rebuilding our website with a new theme - so temporarily this site is functional, but a construction zone.
Headers, background and certain special new functions will be built in, respectively changed. Additionally, most Slide Shows used to be embedded from our Private Social Network on Ning. Since Ning discontinued Flash some time ago, the space where the embedded slide shows supposed to be is blank!
We are working to fix this as well, but with over 500 pages for artists alone, this will take time.
